Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 513 Water Buffalo? Horned Blue Ox? Rhinoceros?
Are there gods in this world?
Xu Yue leaned towards the latter.

In Xu Yue's eyes, whether it was the Eight Immortals or other legendary deities, they were nothing more than powerful cultivators.

As for where those people went?
Then he must have died.

Those who cultivate themselves have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, but this only means longevity, not immortality, much less eternal life.

How long is Xu Yue alive now?

He wasn't sure, but living past two or three hundred years old should be no problem at all.

even longer.

But this requires a prerequisite.

That is, having enough spiritual energy.

If spiritual energy is depleted, and one can only eat ordinary food, then one will not live long.

Of course, they live longer than the average person.

"For a soul to travel for a few days, it would need to be at least at the Yang Shen realm," Yan Tian said. "Even at the eighth realm, it would be like this."

Yan Tian didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Even the Yang spirit needs a physical body to exist, let alone the primordial spirit of the five realms.

Of course, perhaps one could cultivate a corpse to become an immortal, or even a ghost immortal or something like that.

But ultimately it is not the authentic one.

These all need to be explored and verified.

It's hard to say which of those legends are true and which are false.

“Not long ago, a thick fog appeared deep in Shennongjia. The Special Administration Bureau sent someone to investigate, but he fainted before he even reached his destination,” Yan Tian said. “I went in and rescued him. I wanted to go and check it out myself, but I suddenly felt a sense of unease and dared not go forward.”

"Dense fog?" Xu Yue frowned and said, "Is the spiritual energy damp?"

Yan Tian shook his head, not to deny it, but to indicate that he did not know.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Xu Yue remained silent for a moment before speaking.

He had promised Yan Tian that if anything seemed amiss, he would go and check it out.

Of course, he was still very curious about Shennongjia.

"I'm not going."

Zhang Ruoxi saw Xu Yue looking at her and immediately spoke.

She was actually aware of Xu Yue's attitude.

If both of them go, it could be a real problem if something goes wrong.

Besides, if something really happens, her going along would only be a burden.

Shennongjia remains mysterious even in this degenerate age.

Now that cultivation has revived, it is probably even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Shennongjia is located in Ezhou.

Yan Tian also went with Xu Yue.

The person who picked them up at the airport was Zhou Mo, the director of the Ezhou Special Administration Bureau branch.

Previously, when Xu Yue went to Wudang Mountain, he was the one who came to pick him up at the airport.

After getting off the plane, we headed straight for Shennongjia without delay.

Shennongjia has many unsolved mysteries, such as animal albinoism, the mystery of the wild man, mountain stream tides, cold and warm caves, and the ghost market, etc.

Of course, Xu Yue did not come here to solve these unsolved mysteries.

Shennongjia has been developed into a tourist area.

However, those were all peripheral areas, and we dared not venture deeper.

When Xu Yue and his group arrived in Shennongjia, Xu Yue's divine sense had already been deployed.

"what?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Yan Tian couldn't help but ask.

“Divine sense cannot enter.” Xu Yue shook his head and said, “I went in.”

Is it difficult for divine consciousness to enter?

Yan Tian naturally understood.

He also possesses divine sense, and has used it to investigate.

He knew perfectly well where it was difficult for divine consciousness to enter.

He just didn't expect that Xu Yue could reach that area from here.

How wide is the range of his spiritual sense?
Thinking hard.

Xu Yue had barely finished speaking when he vanished.

Yan Tian was used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Zhou Mo was stunned.

How strong is he?

Zhou Mo couldn't help but ask, "If they disappear without a trace, and it's a sneak attack, who can defend against it?"

Of course, Xu Yue doesn't need to launch a sneak attack to target anyone; no one can stop him.

"I don't know."

Yan Tian shook his head and gave two words.

Is it that strong, or that strong is beyond our comprehension?
Zhou Mo leaned somewhat towards the latter.

After all, Yan Tian is now the top expert in the Special Administration Bureau.

He didn't even know, which shows how strong Xu Yue is.

He is the number one master in the world, recognized by the cultivation community both at home and abroad.

This is incredibly valuable.

Xu Yue disappeared from the car and reappeared deep in Shennongjia. He stood on the top of a big tree, looking ahead.

He did not use any more escape techniques, nor did he fly on his sword.

Because of that inexplicable palpitation.

If that were the case, it would be dangerous.

Unable to enter with his divine sense and with the situation unclear, Xu Yue decided to enter on foot.

He sensed a large formation ahead of him.

It's unclear whether it's a natural formation or something preserved from ancient times.

Whichever it is, it's probably quite extraordinary.

However, Xu Yue is more inclined to believe that in ancient times, Da Neng used the terrain to set up a grand formation.

So what is the purpose of setting up this grand formation?
Regardless of its purpose, the fact that this formation has survived to this day speaks volumes about its power.

Xu Yue jumped down from the towering tree and walked inside.

The road was difficult, but for Xu Yue, it was nothing.

Xu Yue hadn't walked far when he encountered a white eagle perched on a tree trunk, staring at him.

Yes, that's right, just staring at him, staring intently, as if monitoring him.

Xu Yue glanced at it but ignored it and continued walking.

But they hadn't gone far when they encountered a group of monkeys, some white and some gold. They stared at Xu Yue with hostile eyes and picked up stones as if they were about to smash him.

However, as soon as Xu Yue's aura dissipated, the monkeys seemed to be frightened and immediately fled.

Ok?
maze!

Xu Yue walked for a while longer, only to find himself back at the starting point.

interesting.

Xu Yue is quite dedicated to the study of formations.

He not only studies agricultural formations, but also some Taoist formations.

This maze has some resemblance to a rural setting, yet it is also quite different.

However, Xu Yue felt that it did not evolve from the farming formations.

Perhaps it shares the same origin as the farming formations.

Shennongjia. Shennong!

Farmers revere Shennong as their ancestor.

A thought suddenly flashed into my mind.

Xu Yue then activated the "Yan Emperor Hunyuan Fundamental Scripture," and a strange feeling arose.

Guided by this feeling, Xu Yue continued forward and quickly emerged from the maze.

A thick fog enveloped everything, so thick that you couldn't even see your own hand in front of your face.

The key issue is that divine consciousness is also blocked.

Without sight, and with his divine sense unable to enter, Xu Yue was like a blind man at this moment.

And he couldn't hear anything anymore.

Before, there was the sound of wind, the rustling of leaves, and even the chirping of insects and birds, but now there is no sound at all.

He felt that all six senses were blocked.

But he had a feeling, or perhaps a deep-seated sense, that something ahead was drawing him in.

And that feeling will disappear after he stops circulating the "Yan Di Hun Yuan Gen Ben Jing".

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yue couldn't resist any longer. He circulated his internal energy and stepped into the thick fog.

If you can't see it, just squint and go in by feel.

Xu Yue's move was indeed a display of skill and daring.

He is now at the seventh realm. In this newly revived world, he may not be able to roam freely, but there are not many who can harm him.

Besides, with so many protective magical artifacts on him, he should be able to withstand the attack for a while.

If something happens to Yifan, he will have enough time to react.

One can escape using escape techniques, or fly away on a sword, whether for defense or attack. Besides, even ancient masters like Shennong, though their cultivation levels were high, have had their abilities eroded by time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the scene before him, his pupils involuntarily dilated.

This was not what he had imagined.

In front of us was a valley, and in the valley were a group of stone houses.

The style of the stone house doesn't reveal its age.

In the middle of the valley, there is a palace built of stone houses, which gives people a strange sense of oppression.

Could this be the place where Shennong lived back then?
This thought flashed through Xu Yue's mind and then lingered there.

He couldn't resist stepping into the valley.

Ok?
Xu Yue stopped in front of the stone house.

There were two stone unicorns at the entrance of the stone house complex. Xu Yue had a feeling that if he took another step forward, the two stone unicorns would attack him.

Xu Yue was not afraid of the two stone unicorns, but he was worried that if he did something, it would affect the whole situation.

The two stone unicorns at the entrance are likely just one of the defensive measures.

Perhaps this is just the most basic form of defense.

Xu Yue circulated the "Yan Emperor Hunyuan Fundamental Scripture," and that feeling immediately disappeared.

Sure enough.

Xu Yue stepped inside, and the two stone unicorns did not attack him.

The stone houses are scattered in a pleasing manner, resembling a village.

A small village.

However, there was no one there.

Those stone houses seemed to have been built according to some kind of rule, but Xu Yue couldn't tell.

It should be some kind of formation.

Ok?
In some open spaces, Xu Yue saw a lot of medicinal herbs.

Some I've seen before, some I haven't.

Most of them were things I had never seen before.

Xu Yue has seen quite a few ginseng roots, and they must have been quite old.

Millennium ginseng?

Those medicinal herbs are probably thousands of years old, or even thousands of years old.

Xu Yue was somewhat tempted.

These ancient medicinal herbs, which have been around for millennia, are now extremely rare.

The herbs cultivated by Xu Yue in a spiritual land are full of spiritual energy, but compared with those herbs that have truly been cultivated for thousands of years, they are probably still somewhat inferior.

This is a treasure trove.

However, Xu Yue did not immediately harvest the medicinal herbs. He did not linger and went directly to the stone hall.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the stone hall, Xu Yue stopped once again.

A look of shock flashed across his face.

There was a cow lying at the entrance, chewing on a few ginseng roots.

A waste of natural resources.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yue subconsciously thought of these four words.

Those are all ginseng from two years ago.

It was actually used as food.

The cow resembles a water buffalo, but water buffaloes typically have coat colors including gray, white, black, and brown.

And this is a blue ox!
The hair is bluish-black.

Banjiaoqingniu!

For some reason, these four words popped into Xu Yue's mind.

The flat-horned green ox is the mount of Taishang Laojun.

The Green Ox is an ancient auspicious beast called "Si". Apart from its name and appearance resembling "ox", it has no other relation to "ox".

Legend has it that the si (兕) resembles an ox, is dark blue-black, and has flat horns.

He appears in the world when the world is prosperous.

However, this blue ox does not have a single horn pointing skyward from the center of its forehead.

It is the same as a regular water buffalo.

True mythical beast!
Upon seeing Xu Yue, the two horns on the top of the ox disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a new horn grew from the top of its head and forehead, pointing straight to the sky.

"Moo!"

The blue ox bellowed and charged straight at Xu Yue.

Xu Yue took out a piece of red cloth from his storage ring, seemingly intending to fight a bull.

The blue ox was furious upon seeing this.

What the hell do you take me for?
Although it didn't know anything about bullfighting, it sensed the "insult" nature of Xu Yue's actions.

It didn't hit the red cloth, but instead crashed into Xu Yue.

Xu Yue's face flashed with embarrassment, and he quickly stepped aside.

This is a mythical beast, not a cow.

However, if it were a cow, would it collide with the red cloth or with itself?

Xu Yue dodged, but the blue ox's head continued to ram him.

Xu Yue continued to dodge, but the green ox didn't hit anyone. It rushed past, stopped, then retreated and kicked.

He just didn't manage to kick Xu Yue.

"If you don't stop, I might have to take action."

This blue ox must be about a hundred years old.

A cow's lifespan is only twenty or thirty years, but this is not a cow, but a mythical beast.

Xu Yue didn't know how long the mythical beast's lifespan was.

Xu Yue wasn't sure whether a hundred years old was a long or short time for it.

However, this blue ox was quite large.

He is superior to Xu Yue.

Whether the blue ox understood or not, only it probably knows.

But it didn't stop.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue immediately grabbed the hoof that was stepping on him, then swung it up and slammed it to the ground.

"bang bang bang"

After several consecutive blows, the blue ox became dizzy and disoriented.

The ground cracked and even created several craters, but it didn't hurt the blue ox much.

That guy has thick skin and tough flesh, and is very resistant to blows.

Xu Yue felt that even a fifth-realm cultivator would probably be easily defeated by this green ox.

Whether they can escape depends on their speed.

"Are you calm now?" Xu Yue tossed the green ox to the ground and said calmly, "Don't pretend you don't understand. That's disgraceful for a divine beast."

Does this world really have mythical beasts?
The mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas might really exist.

It existed at least in ancient times.

now
Perhaps they went extinct, or perhaps their genes degenerated.

The Iron-Eating Beast, once Chi You's mount, is now a giant panda, rarely eating meat and mostly eating vegetarian food.

The horn in the center of the blue ox's forehead disappeared, and it returned to its original shape with two horns, resembling a water buffalo.

Is this a cancellation of combat status?
The blue ox glanced at it, its eyes filled with resentment.

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

When he swung the green ox, he used his Primordial Chaos True Qi, which was equivalent to circulating the "Emperor Yan's Primordial Chaos Fundamental Scripture". The green ox's eyes seemed to say: We're one of us, why didn't you say so earlier?

Xu Yue turned to look at the stone hall, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

He was actually able to communicate with the blue ox through eye contact?

Is a mythical beast truly a mythical beast?
It's a waste to leave this ox here. Why don't we take it back to plow the fields?

Okay, the farmland comment was obviously a joke.

It's not a cow, it's a mythical beast: a Si!
"Can I go in now?"

Xu Yue looked at the blue ox that had already gotten up, asked a question, and gave it a smile.

The blue ox seemed startled and took a few steps back, but it also nodded.

Xu Yue then walked towards the stone hall.

The stone hall has thirty-three steps; I wonder what their meaning is.

There is a statue of a deity inside the stone hall.

The statue depicts an old man, and if the guess is correct, it should be Shennong.

Xu Yue quickly bowed and thanked him.

Then, he began to pay attention to the things on the altar in front of the statue.

There was no fairness, no incense burner or anything like that, only a jade slip.

Xu Yue couldn't help but step forward, pick it up, and open it, only to find it blurry.

Can't see it clearly?

This is definitely not a vision problem for Xu Yue.

Does it require refining with blood? Like the inheritance token?
Xu Yue then bit his finger and dripped a drop onto the jade slip.

Then, the blood drop slid off the jade slip and fell to the ground without leaving any trace.
